Training #3: Purity

In this sermon, we explore the topic of purity in the Christian life, based on Ephesians 4. Pastor Sammy Harris examines the biblical story of the Battle of Ai to illustrate how sin weakens spiritual strength, then outlines five stages of moral regression: distorted thinking, desensitized spirits, numbed conscience, broken resistance, and addiction. The message provides practical steps for maintaining purity including honesty, controlling anger, staying occupied with godly activities, and guarding conversation. Key scriptures include Ephesians 4:17-32, Galatians 6:7, and Psalm 119:9-11. This is part three of the Basic Training sermon series focused on foundational Christian principles for spiritual warfare and holy living in a morally challenging culture.
